Function and Applications

Demonstration and practical set for working up the gyroscope laws.

Benefits

The following relationships can be produced:

Precession (influence of torque and rotational frequency)
Nutation (influence of the speed of the disc on the nutational frequency)
Measurement of the moment of inertia of the gyroscope disc from the angular acceleration for a known torque
Investigation of the relationship between the duration of a precession rotation and the rotational frequency of the gyroscope disc
Investigation of the relationship between the precession frequency and the turning moment exerted on the gyroscope axis for constant rotational frequency of the disc
Determination of the relationship between the rotational and nutational frequency of the gyroscope disc
Gyroscope disc with double ball bearings, balanced and freely movable via 3 axes, which is wound up by hand with the aid of a thread
Mounted on a metal stand
Sliding counterweight for calibrating the gyro disc
